lyrics

We all living on borrowed time
Nothing in this world
Really belongs to us
So why do we try to hold on
So tightly
When everything under the sun
Fades eventually
What if we lived a little more
We need to give a little more
Cuz we never know for sure
When we gone fly away

Every moment is a gift to behold
More precious than diamond
Or silver, platinum or gold
From now on I got nothing to lose
Nothing to prove, choices to choose and this one is you,
It's out on the line
I've made up my mind
All good things in perfect time

I am willing
I am able
To put my cards out
on the table

Lost so much but I never lost faith in you
Been broken, torn apart, down and out, alone, all kinds of blue
Dusted off, back on my feet again
Back in the race again
Now I know
It's Less about speed more of endurance
I thank God for these words on my tongue
The mindfulness not to get sprung
Not afraid to take a chance
I'm here to take a stance

I am willing
I am able
To put my cards out
on the table

I am willing
I am able
To put my cards out
on the table
